BARRIO SONORO
A Global Sound Exploration in Berlin
Barrio Sonoro is a new concert series in Berlin that seeks to explore and showcase the rich tapestry of global popular music, with a particular focus on Latin American sonic traditions. Featuring artists from all corners of the world, all based in Berlin, the series offers an in-depth look at the musical heritage of regions such as the Caribbean, Venezuela, Brazil, Guinea Conakry, and beyond.
With an emphasis on popular music and the musical traditions that shape local scenes, Barrio Sonoro serves as both a forecast and a reflection of Berlin’s evolving artistic landscape. Through three dates and six distinct projects, this series brings forward the diverse influences and the interconnectedness of global rhythms, melodies, and cultural expressions.

BARRIO SONORO VOL. 1 26.4.2025
What is usually the Cuatro Piraguas will be joining as DUO PIRAGUAS for this first edition. They are understood as carriers of diverse melodies and rhythms of Latin America and the Caribbean, from the affection and respect towards their origins, looking for a link to our present.
With a diverse repertoire that draws from the traditional music of Colombia, Venezuela and Brazil, the Duo Piraguas (canoes) invites you this time to embark on a sonorous journey through seas, rivers and mountains of Venezuela and Colombia.
In their voyage, the varied songs will be accompanied by traditional instruments like the cuatro and the maracas, giving rise to warm and enchanting sounds that make us sing together, move our bodies and submerge ourselves in their rhythmic and melodious complexity.
"La Cura" is an Afro-Colombian band, founded in 2022 by Carolina Riaño (vocals/maracas), Dante Parraguez (tambor alegre) Daniel Cataño (tambora) and Leonor Mejía (llamador/maracas).
"La Cura" is the first Afro-Colombian band in Berlin that plays the music of the origins and oral tradition of the Colombian Caribbean, rhythms such as Bullerengue Sentao, Fandango, Chalupa, Cumbia and Tambora among others that represent the diversity of Colombian music. Sounds that are rooted in the drums and the breath in the female voices with joie de vivre and passion infect the audience and make everyone dance!
BARRIO SONORO VOL. 2 24.5.2025
FEU MARINHO
Feu Marinho is a traveler of both earth and space. A Brazilian singer-songwriter, his music fuses jazz textures, tropical rhythms, and African and Eastern influences — creating an expansive sound.
In the past years, Feu has been traveling with his music across the Middle East, Europe, Asia, and Africa. His latest project, Velocidade Futura, brings together tropical grooves, jazz influences, and rhythms from across the Afro-Atlantic world. After a creative winter in Morocco, Feu has now settled in Berlin to focus on his next album and continue building bridges between cultures through music.
For Barrio Sonoro, Feu will open the evening in an intimate duo formation, joined by Andy Ptashka on trombone.
A PANDA DO SOL
A Panda do Sol invites you on a dreamlike musical journey that transcends borders and eras — where poetry meets rhythm. Born in Berlin in 2017, the group merges forgotten traditional music with original compositions, inspired by Brazilian Samba de Raiz, Ciranda, New Orleans Jazz, Caribbean biguine, and Cape Verdean Morna.
After releasing two albums — Fôlego (2019) and Homenagem (Sungroove Records, 2023) — the group is preparing to unveil a new chapter in 2025, mixed by Caê Rolfsen, a key figure in Brazil’s contemporary music scene. The upcoming record, sung in French and Portuguese, promises to be a milestone in their ever-evolving sound.
They are very happy to be back with a full band for this second edition of Barrio Sonoro and they prepared a special performance for you all...
